Chapter 19: dumbfounded
Chapter 19 Dumbfounded
Seeing everyone walking towards the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Man followed everyone.
I came here to buy something, and if I can’t buy it, I can take it from the space. Anyway, I can't wrong myself, I should eat and drink.
At this time, the sky was falling with goose feathers and heavy snow, a vast expanse of whiteness, making the whole world beautiful.
Shen Man couldn't help but slow down when she saw this scene. She has always liked the Northeast, because there are four distinct seasons here, the snow in winter is beautiful, and the wind in summer is cool.
When she returned from graduation in the capital, she opened a shop in her hometown to make money. No matter where she went, she always liked the Northeast.
Entering the supply and marketing cooperative, there are quite a lot of people in the house, because the autumn harvest is over, everyone came out to buy things while they had nothing to do.
Each brigade also has special vehicles to come here. After this time, there will be no cars coming to the town until the Chinese New Year. In that case, we can only walk over.
"Comrade, bring me two bundles of vermicelli!"
"I want two bundles too!"
Looking at the queue, Shen Man found that the non-staple food counter is also here.
The non-staple food in Beijing is a separate store, but here it is in the same room, but it is not the same counter.
She doesn't have a ticket or book, so these winter solstice can only be seen.
After looking around, she can't use things that don't need a ticket, and she doesn't have a ticket yet.
In the end, I could only squeeze out of the crowd, then found a place where no one was around, and secretly took out a package that I had prepared in advance.
There are some things to eat, the most important thing is to pretend, and it is easy to explain the extra things that are found.
Just as she was standing at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative and was about to go to the restaurant to have a look, Gu Nan called her loudly and ran over.
"Have you finished delivering the things?" Shen Man knew that the things had been delivered when she saw that the cotton trousers she was wearing disappeared.
Hearing this, Gu Nan nodded, "Yes, what are you going to do? What kind of big bag is this?"
The dark green duffel bag is very big, like a bedding bag.
Shen Man did not hide anything, and replied: "It was mailed from home, and I happened to come over to pick up something."
"Is that so, then you don't need to buy other things?" Gu Nan didn't ask about the package, mainly because it's not easy to ask about other people's things.
The two exchanged a few words, Shen Man stood at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and waited for her for a while, while Gu Nan went in to buy the things she asked her to bring.
After a while, the girl came out with something, two bundles of vermicelli and a large roll of fabric, which was quite a lot.
"The car isn't leaving yet, shall we just go over and wait?" Gu Nan asked, she saw the time on the clock in the house just now, and the tractor could leave in an hour.
Wearing a watch, Shen Man naturally knew it was still early, smelling the fragrance from the next door, she pulled someone with a package and walked to the side.
"People don't allow anyone to enter casually, and you can't go in without eating." Gu Nan stopped her in a low voice, but it was as if the other party didn't hear her.
After entering the room, the order staff at the counter glanced at them and said nothing.
But Gu Nan was so nervous that he wished he could go home now.
Shen Man looked calmly at the supply on the blackboard, "Comrade, give me two catties of cabbage vermicelli dumplings!"
A pound of dumplings is 50 cents for plain stuffing, and 80 cents for meat stuffing. Because there is no meat ticket, she can only be a vegetarian.
As for the food stamps, before she left, she exchanged the national food stamps for the local food stamps here, which was an extra five catties.
The person at the counter said indifferently, "One yuan plus two catties of food stamps."
Although the price of the dumplings is a bit more expensive, there are now more than 40 dumplings per catty. These more than 80 dumplings were served on the table, and the two of them were dumbfounded.
Gu Nan watched in a daze as she ordered dumplings, was called over to sit down again, and then watched Shen Man bring over dumplings one by one, a little unresponsive.
Shen Man was also dumbfounded. At this time, people don’t serve you food. I thought that two catties would be about four dishes, but it turned out that there were six dishes here, and each dish was full.
"Eh... Nannan, you can eat too, I can't eat it." She said a little embarrassed.
Don't say she can't eat it, even if she stuffs it into her mouth, she can't stuff it in.
"Sister Man." Gu Nan said hesitantly, "I know you can't eat it, but I can't either!"
Who can eat this? The seven members of their family can eat, but it is not enough, but the problem is how the two of them will eat.
"Eat it first, if you can't eat it, take it away." Shen Man didn't say any more, poured soy sauce and garlic on the opposite person, and then started eating.
Gu Nan swallowed, seeing that there were indeed a lot of dumplings, she couldn't resist the temptation after all, and started to eat.
At first, I thought about eating a few, but it’s not good to eat too much. I didn’t expect this dumpling to be so delicious that I couldn’t stop eating it.
Not to mention that although this dumpling is filled with vegetarian food, it contains a lot of meat oil, so it tastes very good!
Shen Man ate one plate, about twelve or three dumplings, while Gu Nan on the opposite side ate a lot and ate two plates in total.
At this time, people don’t have much oil in their stomachs, and they have a big appetite when eating, so it’s not unusual.
It’s not like those little girls in later generations who can’t eat two dumplings.
"Sister Man, I ate too much, hiccup..." Gu Nan covered her mouth in embarrassment, and awkwardly picked up a bowl of dumpling soup and drank it.
This dumpling soup is free, which is equivalent to boiling water, but after all, it is boiled food, and everyone is willing to drink this soup.
Shen Man also ate a lot, the dumplings were not small, two bites of each were fragrant and delicious.
"There are still three dishes, forget it, pack it." She said, and took out two aluminum lunch boxes from her pocket.
This stuff still belongs to the original owner, but even two lunch boxes couldn’t hold it, so I finally took out a bowl and put it all in.
There is a lunch box in the space, but it is different from the current lunch box, so I simply used a new big bowl to pack it.
The big bowl is covered with the same small plate, and they are all put together and carried, because it is easy to scatter in the backpack, so it can only be carried like this.
Gu Nan was very winking, and helped her carry the package, and the two of them pulled one end each, and then went in the direction of the tractor.
There were already several people sitting in the car. After everyone's help, the two finally sat on the ponytail and waited for the departure.
"How many things did you buy? It's such a big package." A woman in her thirties looked at the package and guessed what was inside.
Shen Man replied flatly: "This is from home, not bought."
The money will not leak out, everything she has now will be pushed to that family. Anyway, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so no one knows anyone.
No one will go to the capital to inquire about her situation, right? If that's the case, then she admits defeat.
Seeing what she said, everyone felt that the children in the city were really nice, the family conditions were good, and they could send things.
The other educated youths in collective households also often receive parcels, so they are no strangers to it.
There are so few voters...
